Boletus aff satanas
A chunky, solid mushroom with a broadly convex cap about 110 mm wide. Had a deep purplish-red top. The underside had a base colour of bright yellow with an overlay of rust brown. The chunky upside-down club shaped stipe was also a bright yellow with purplish and red stain. Bruised parts of the cap were blue. The under surface had minute pores that were hardly visible. The pore surface was deeply depressed around the stipe. One of mushrooms had a delicate partial veil still intact, covering the pore surface ( pic #5)

Chunky and solid is right. It looks like a recycled house brick.
